@MattMcIrvin Ай бұрын
These were some of my favorite attractions when I was a kid and they also help with crowd flow. A lot of parks took theirs out because they had Von Roll sky bucket rides from the 1970s that were getting harder to maintain. I remember Hersheypark had one that went from what is now Founder's Way to what was then the back of the park, near Coal Cracker. (They also had a tiny chairlift-style ride that didn't take you anywhere, and that one is still there.) What they should do today is put one in that takes people back to somewhere around the waterpark area. Even better would be a triangle like they have at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

I now realize how thankful I am that Silver Dollar City gave us a warning that they were closing the original Fire in the Hole. If Great Adventure had given us a couple months' warning, we would have taken off from work and gone to Kingda Ka for the first and last time. Once, before I had a decent job, I got free tickets to Frontier City for donating blood, but at that time I wasn't able to afford the parking, so I know the parking fee is too much for some others as well.

3:03 That is me every time. I always get behind the person who takes 10 minutes to get through the parking gate (park entry gate too), often with needing to call a manager to come over. In terms of running 1 train, it's amazing to see such huge differences at parks. At Dollywood this week, coasters have been running 2 trains, despite such light crowds. Today, they learned & put LRod, Wild Eagle, & Thunderhead on 1 train, and they were still walk-ons. Meanwhile, Knoebels always runs 1 train on Phoenix, Twister, & Impulse, even if the lines are an hour. The workers there consider a 1-hour line a "dead day".

9:53 could not agree more with the family coasters idea. My kids just hit 54” a couple months ago and finding things for all of us at Busch Gardens and Sea World was difficult. Adding rides without a 54” height requirement gives the family more to do. Add to that, my son isn’t the same daredevil that my daughter is so he was nervous of rides like Cheetah Hunt or icebreaker and wouldn’t dream of going on an Iron Gwazi or Mako. Adding Phoenix Rising and Penguin Trek definitely encourages the whole family to come and enjoy.

I’m not sure how many parks do this now but Great America started requiring separate admission to Hurricane Harbor and I think that’s really dumb. Maybe it works financially, but not for guest satisfaction. It just makes me angry now whenever I walk by the old entrance gate on my way to Viper and Raging Bull and see the sign telling people to go to the front of the park. Great America also cut out their single rider line due to people bringing large groups in it, which is also infuriating. It used to save me a lot of time waiting for rides like Goliath.

Smart thing: Giving rides a proper sendoff before a permanent closure (e.g. Vortex [KI]) or major reformat (e.g. Colossus [SFMM) when possible. Dumb thing: Failing to give a ride a proper sendoff when it was clearly possible to do so (e.g. Kingda Ka [SFGAdv]), whether the ride is closed forever or undergoing a major reformat. Rides where circumstances forbade a proper sendoff, such as Top Thrill Dragster (accident) and even Volcano (closed early because maintenance issues became too much), get a pass here.

I was at SFGA for the last day of Ka. Despite the crush of enthusiasts grabbing last rides on Ka and the rest of the park being not too busy, Ka wasn't the longest line I waited in. The Ka ops were amazing, the line 40-50 minutes (the locker line was long but we used Superman lockers). The longest line was Superman - only one train and super slow ops. The line took us 75 minutes and it probably should have been around 30. And then the ride itself was pretty lame.

This list makes me appreciate Silverwood even more. Parking is $10.00 for the day and free for season pass holders, no up charges for "skip the line/fast pass services," affordable food prices, and smart and steady growth plans. It's a cashless park, but you can buy an "in park cash card" if you want to set a budget. Only downside is slow 1 train operations on all their coasters except Stunt pilot.

Smart idea - vantage points and walkways specifically built to get a closer look to rides. For instance, Voltron has dedicated pathways under its track and an observation tower you can access to get better views on elements you can't see that much from main pathways. Dumb idea - Imposing a reservation system to get on low capacity attractions, thus reducing their capacity even more. Think about Volcano Bay trapdoor slides, or about Tonnerre 2 Zeus backwards seats on its first year of operation.

When I went to Blackpool, a bunch of rides were running with one train. On most occasions it wasn't too bad, but with Big One and Avalanche it was awful. Pretty easy to see why Big One having one train ops would suck given it's a 2 minute ride, but Avalanche might have actually been worse because the trains only have six seats, and while you can have two people in the same seat, this typically wouldn't happen more than 2 or 3 times on one train. Both of these rides had 40 minute wait times when almost everything else was a station wait.

1:29 I love single rider lines! I am very into the mechanical side of roller coasters, and not so much into riding them (I have been doing better tho, I did cheetah hunt) so anytime my family wanted to ride a ride at six flags (New England) I would always marathon pandemonium using the single rider line, it’s a fun ride, and it’s really fun when you get with someone who’s terrified of roller coasters. But then this season they removed it and I was really sad :(

Went to Magic Mountain a few weeks back and Full Throttle closed down after I stood in line for about an hour for it. When I came back to try again later in the day it had an even longer line, and I saw the one shot fast pass option and thought "Man I can't have Full Throttle close on me again!" I paid the $15 it and cut straight to the front, was on the train within like 2 minutes of purchasing the one shot, it was kind of insane. Totally worth, Full Throttle was incredible, especially around sunset!

Canobie Lake Park does the store-brand version: lots of celebrity impersonator acts, often at their modest outdoor stage. (Their Taylor Swift tribute has been getting some online attention lately--when it's nearly impossible to get actual Taylor Swift tickets, she's attracted a fan following for being a pretty faithful substitute.) Way back in the big-band swing era, their ballroom was a major concert venue. One of my all-time favorite weird bits of area amusement-park trivia is that the downfall of Milli Vanilli happened at Lake Compounce.

I think there is a hidden negative cost to these outrageous parking fees. I had no idea they were getting to $40 plus now, that absolutely will turn away repeat visitors and potential customers. Like spitting in the face of your customer at that point. As always with Six Flags, I think their cost cutting and general cheapness actually hurts them in the long run, you'd be shocked about how many people I have heard say they will never go back to a Six Flags because of how awful their experience was last time. Hell, I'm a coaster enthusiast and I don't really care to go back to a Six Flags park anytime soon. At least not until Cedar Fair management is able to radically transform them.

Enjoyed both videos. I think three smart ones would be a transport ride, solar panels in the parking lot and a hotel. A transport ride like a skyride or a train provide relief from walking and the whole family can go on. Plus it does well with seasonal events. A solar array offers extra revenue and can keep cars cool during the summer. A hotel is an extra source of revenue and can help people that live further from the park and encourage a daily admission from an out of market guest. Hershey does a great job by offering a perk of getting the last few hours the night before free.

Its about 100 meter walk from the busstop to main Entrance. I heard that Liseberg may implement free bus ticket together with the entrance if you prebook the entrance. I dont know of its true or not. If it is true it should be easier for many to just park at a free parking and take the bus. For me that live close to Liseberg can take the bus home, Im home before those that take the car even have left the parking space. Some times it can take like 1 hour to leave the parking after the park closed.

Dumb idea: Inconsistent ride policies. Six weeks ago, I rode Kinga Ka (RIP) with a backward ball cap and sunglasses with a strap. I also had my wallet and phone in my pockets. Next, I rode El Toro with the same stuff. An hour later, I walked to the entrance of Jersey Devil. An attendant with a metal detection wand asked if my bulging pockets were empty... He told me I would have to put my things in a locker or leave them with a non rider. I went to SFGA to ride, so I didn't argue. And, I don't blame the ride ops. But, the management should have clear and consistent policies. Kingda Ka and El Toro are the fastest and most intense rides at the park, but I can't take my wallet on Jersey Devil... 🙂 Oh well; I had a great day despite a couple of hiccups.

Now that Great Adventure removed Twister they won’t have in my opinion the parks best flat ride. They shouldn’t have done that. I would hope they replace it with something even better

You can thank ticket master for ending time park concerts. Big artists are contracted to set areas. Small time acts don't have the ability to fill the seats....so the concert venues have become defunct Sad, there were great concerts at wonderland in the 80's and 90's

I read a tour itinerary from The Fixx (80s band) circa 1983-1984. It read like a thoosie trip.

at Phantasialand we get some shit from people because parking is now 7€ instead of 5€. And the funniest thing: Phantasialand doesn't even own the parking. It's another family.

Dumb thing: strict camera policies at parks. Referring to places like SFOT, GADV not letting me bring my camera in. Stupid because there’s no way I’m bringing a giant camera on a ride and they’re missing out on quality photos of their park being published online which is free advertising

In 2012, Six Flags banned metal shows after frontman of Falling in Reverse and overall not-great-person Ronnie Radke threw microphone stands into the audience and injured two guests at Great Adventure. Maybe liability concerns after that had something to do with less concerts at amusement parks? It’s sad, I’d love to see live shows come back to parks.

Kingda Ka was going bye bye no matter what. it was a nightmare to operate and keep up. it needed to go or be retrofitted.

2 Things 1) When a park has extremely short summer hours. Is SFGA really at the level to be 11-8 on weekdays; 11-9 on weekends. I feel like this makes the park seem cheap. It can’t be good for the park either because, in my region at least, most parks stay open until 10 on weekends which I feel like should be the standard. 2) Making weekends hours longer than weekday hours. If your park is open later, more people will come. So I feel like parka should keep consistent hours (in the summer) as it would distribute the crowds better. Maybe I’m over-analyzing though.

Im sure a LOT of thought goes into park hours, weighing the extra revenue of staying open later against the labor cost

Not opening new rides on time has to be the most infuriating thing legacy SF ever did. The recent pushbacks on Flash and GA Surfer shows how extremely horrible SF is when it comes to falsely advertise their new ride. SFGAdv had a huge impact on this while SFOG not so much, Flash missing GAdv’s 50th anniversary really took a toll on them.
